Coastal Watersheds Program

Continued legislative and grant funding support with the goal that the majority of funding for this program to come from dedicated sourcesPartnerships with local governments and other stakeholders through the Service Centers to implement projects

Water SupplyUtilizes technical criteria for establishing MFLsIdentifies the scientific basis for initial environmental water reservations

CERPUtilizes scientific/technical data to support local restoration projectsMonitors improvements to estuaries resulting from restoration projects

Lake Okeechobee/Operations and MaintenanceUtilizes technical data for operational decisions which account for environmental conditionsUtilizes technical data for Lake Okeechobee Water Supply and Environment Regulation Schedule refinements

District EvergladesWater quality improvements in the Everglades will benefit estuarine waters, particularly Florida Bay

The Coastal Watersheds Program involves developing and implementing projects and flood management planning activities that improve the quality, quantity, timing, and distribution of flows to coastal water bodies from their tributary watersheds. The program originated to support the technical criteria for Minimum Flows and Levels (MFLs), in partnership with the Water Supply Program, to provide scientific and technical support to SFWMD priority projects, and to develop water quality targets that may lead to Pollutant Load Reduction Goals (PLRGs) or Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs). Local initiatives such as stormwater improvement projects are implemented through this program in the Service Centers. The program includes efforts to understand the effects of changing flows of fresh water to estuaries from both a water quantity and a water quality perspective, and to identify the existing legal sources of water that are beneficial to fish and wildlife. This scientific information is focused largely on salinity, seagrass, and other biological indicators, and has contributed directly to operational decisions related to the release of water from Lake Okeechobee.

Restoration Plan Program

GOALTo restore, preserve and protect South Florida’s ecosystem while providing for other water-related needs of the region, including water supply and flood protection

PROGRAM COORDINATOR:Lawrence Gerry

Comprehensive Everglades Restoration Plan Program

The SFWMD is partnering with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to implement the Comprehensive Everglades Restoration Plan (CERP). CERP is the largest ecosystem restoration project in the world. It includes a series of projects to take place over more than 30 years. The restoration plan is largely focused on increasing water storage, and improving the timing, quality, and distribution of water deliveries to the ecosystem. Major components include planning, design, real estate acquisitions and construction. Operation, maintenance and monitoring will follow. In 2000, Congress approved CERP under the Water Resources Development Act, and authorized the first 10 projects and 6 pilot projects. The SFWMD is the major local sponsor of CERP, as well as the related feasibility studies for Southwest Florida and Florida Bay/Florida Keys.Seven Critical Restoration Projects also are included in this program. The success of this monumental initiative will be continuously evaluated through Restoration Coordination and Verification (RECOVER).

KEY ASSUMPTIONS


Governing Board strategic priority: Expedite construction and operation of Everglades restoration projects through Acceler8Lands for priority projects will be acquired in

advance of the official scheduleFunding for the program will continue at least

$200M per year -- ad Valorem contribution for CERP exceeds $100M with an additional $100M in state funds. The program will be accomplished as a partnership with the U.S. Army Corps of EngineersFederal appropriations for CERP will continueMaster implementation sequencing plan will be the

baseline used to measure CERP progress

District Everglades Program

GOALRestore Everglades water quality, hydrology and ecology

PROGRAM COORDINATOR:Dean Powell

District Everglades Program

The District Everglades Program is focused on the SFWMD’s responsibilities outlined in the Everglades Forever Act and the Settlement Agreement of the Federal Lawsuit. The Everglades Construction Project (ECP) is the first major step in Everglades Restoration and part of the Everglades Forever Act, passed by the Florida Legislature in 1994. This Act directs the District to acquire land and design, permit, construct and operate a series of Stormwater Treatment Areas (STAs) in order to reduce phosphorus levels from stormwater run-off and other sources before it enters the Everglades Protection Area. The Everglades Forever Act also requires that the District investigate technologies that may be superior to the STAs, and to implement basin-specific solutions to achieve compliance with long-term water quality standards. During the 2003 legislative session, the 1994 Everglades Forever Act was amended to include the Conceptual Plan for Achieving Long-Term Water Quality Goals (Long-Term Plan) as the appropriate strategy for achieving the long-term water quality goals for the Everglades Protection Area.

Governing Board strategic priority: Achieve Everglades water quality standards

Dedicated revenues fund all research, monitoring, engineering and construction activities for DistrictEverglades projects based on expansion of the Everglades Forever Act

2006 WORK PLAN

Kissimmee Restoration Program

GOALTo restore the ecological integrity of the Kissimmee River and floodplain ecosystem; improve water quality, water supply, natural resources and flood control level of service in the Kissimmee Upper Basin; and regulate the headwater and river system to balance impacts to the upper and lower basins.

PROGRAM COORDINATOR:Ruth Clements

Kissimmee Restoration Program

The historic Kissimmee River originated at Lake Kissimmee and meandered for 103 miles, through a 1-3 mile wide floodplain, to Lake Okeechobee. Severe flooding throughout central Florida in the late 1940s prompted the state to petition the federal government to prepare a flood control plan for central and southern Florida.

In 1948, Congress authorized the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) to initiate construction of the Central and Southern Florida Project. Implementation of the 1962-1971 flood control project replaced the Kissimmee River with a 56 mile long, 300 ft. wide, 30 ft. deep drainage canal (C-38). Water control structures and related features also were built in the upper lakes region. Although the project was extremely successful at achieving flood control, channelization drained 36,000 acres of floodplain wetlands and led to drastic declines in wildlife and ecosystem function.

In 1992, Congress authorized the Kissimmee River Restoration and the Headwaters Revitalization Projects - a $578 million partnership between USACE and SFWMD (local sponsor). Activities include 105,000 acres of land acquisition; canal filling, reconnection of existing remnant river reaches, including carving of new river reaches; structure modification, removal and replacement; and a comprehensive monitoring program to evaluate restoration project success.

KEY ASSUMPTIONS

Governing Board strategic priority: acquire land for Kissimmee River Restoration

U.S. Army Corps of Engineers will identify all necessary lands for Kissimmee River Restoration

Adequate funding to purchase lands will be available

Sufficient funding for Restoration Evaluation

52

OVERVIEW (continued)

Over 7 miles of backfilling of Phase I were completed in 2001, and work is under way to design and model the extent of backfilling necessary for Phases II, III and IV. Per accordance with the Project Cooperative Agreement between the USACE and the District, monitoring of restoration evaluation continues to quantify the success of the efforts undertaken to date. Another aspect is that much of the water flowing to the Kissimmee Chain of Lakes (KCOL) and the Kissimmee River originates in rapidly urbanizing basins north of the KCOL - in the Kissimmee Upper Basin. The Kissimmee Upper Basin Restoration Initiative is a partnership between the SFWMD and local governments to annually fund water resource projects to improve downstream water quality, water supply, natural resources and flood control levels of service.

Another on-going initiative in the Kissimmee Upper Basin is the KCOL Long Term Management Plan (LTMP). The purpose of this initiative is to create a coordinated, multi-disciplinary framework for resolving water management issues in the Kissimmee Chain of Lakes.

These issues will be formalized in a Conceptual Ecosystem Model that will then be used to generate Agency Action Plans that will describe how participating agencies will address agreed upon issues through their mandates.

Lake Okeechobee Program

GOALTo improve the health of the Lake Okeechobee ecosystem by improving water quality, reducing or eliminating exotic species and better managing water levels.

PROGRAM COORDINATOR:Susan Gray

55


The Lake Okeechobee Program is focused on the development and implementation of management activities that will allow the lake to support a greater diversity of native plants and animals while providing flood protection, water supply, navigation and recreation. Lake Okeechobee is the "liquid heart" of South Florida's interconnected aquatic ecosystem. The lake provides a number of values and benefits to the state's population and environment, including water supply for agriculture, urban areas and the environment; flood protection; a multi-million dollar sport and commercial fishery; and habitat for wading birds, migratory waterfowl, and the federally endangered Everglades Snail Kite. The Lake Okeechobee program is geared toward solving three major problems facing the lake and its watershed: (1) excessive nutrient loading; (2) extreme high and low water levels in the lake; and (3) exotic species. As required by state legislation, the South Florida Water Management District - in cooperation with the Florida Department of Environmental Protection, Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, and public/stakeholders input - completed the Lake Okeechobee Protection Plan (LOPP) in January 2004. The completed plan contains an implementation schedule for subsequent phases of phosphorus load reduction in order to meet the target goal of 140 metric tons by the year 2015. The plan also contains required elements of exotic species control and research and monitoring.

KEY ASSUMPTIONS

Governing Board strategic priority: reduce phosphorus inputs to Lake Okeechobee

Land Stewardship Program

GOALTo restore conservation and preservation lands to a natural condition, provide compatible public access, and efficiently manage project lands

PROGRAM COORDINATOR:John Dunnuck

64


The Land Stewardship Program manages property and associated water areas owned or controlled by the South Florida Water Management District. Lands are protected, enhanced, restored, and preserved for project purposes and for the use and enjoyment of existing and future generations. The program began in 1981 with passage of the state's Water Management Lands Trust Fund, which enabled the state's water management districts to buy lands needed for water management, water supply, and the conservation and protection of water resources - and to make them available for appropriate public use. Since that time, the SFWMD and its acquisition partners have purchased 310,000 acres of environmentally sensitive lands (not counting 800,000 acres in the three Water Conservation Areas that were acquired prior to 1981). Water resource projects, or those lands associated with the Comprehensive Everglades Restoration Plan consisting largely of impacted agricultural lands, have added another 145,000 acres. The program has direct management responsibility for 177,000 acres in 13 projects, including two mitigation banks and several regional mitigation areas. For the 133,000 acres of non-District managed lands, agreements or leases have been entered into with other agencies or local governments. The Land Stewardship Program includes activities to restore lands to their natural state and condition, manage them in an environmentally acceptable manner, and to provide public recreational opportunities that are compatible with protecting natural resources. Program activities include: developing and implementing land management plans, controlling invasive exotic plants, restoring natural fire regimes, restoring native communities, employing multiple use practices, and opening lands for appropriate public use.

KEY ASSUMPTIONSContinued state funding through the Water Management Lands Trust Fund for land management efforts

Utilize available resources from mitigation programs for land management purposes

Modeling & Scientific Support Program

District programs depend on scientific support and computer modeling for all aspects of water management. This program centralizes these major functions.

As recommended in the Strategic Modeling Plan, this program includes the development, implementation and migration of the next-generation Regional Simulation Model (RSM) to replace current regional models; the implementation of the Capability Maturity Model (CMM) for all model development and implementation; and modeling oversight, peer review, scope review, model library and data set creation.

This program also includes water quality monitoring and assessment operations. Water quality monitoring systems track ecosystem status and the performance of District projects including information needed to meet legal and regulatory requirements. Activities included are regional-scale water quality monitoring, laboratory operations, quality assurance/quality control, data stewardship, and associated support services. An Environmental Monitoring Coordination team has been established to manage and oversee all District monitoring activities. This program is also responsible for theannual production of the South Florida Environmental Report (SFER) – which provides scientific and engineering status and findings

70

KEY ASSUMPTIONS

Recognition that the regional modeling and monitoring efforts are key District functions which are essential for the planning, construction, assessment and management of water resources as outlined in priority District programs, and thus require continued funding to maintain continuity.

Continued functioning of Modeling Oversight and Environmental Monitoring Coordination Teams for assistance in prioritizing all modeling and managing all monitoring, respectively.

Continued availability of hydrologic, water quality and ecological data for modeling and resource assessments.

Outsourcing can be used to handle increases in modeling, monitoring and assessment workload.

Regulation Program

GOALTo provide fair, consistent and timely review of permit applications in accordance with the adopted rules and criteria of the District, ensure compliance with issued permits, and take enforcement action where necessary

PROGRAM COORDINATOR:Bob Brown

92

Regulation Program

The Regulation Program involves implementing the District's permitting authority under Ch. 373, F.S. to regulate the management and storage of surface waters through Environmental Resource Permits (ERPs), the consumptive use of water through Water Use Permits, and the construction, repair and abandonment of wells through Water Well Construction Permits. Linked with the ERP program is implementation of the sovereign submerged lands authority delegated to the SFWMD by the Governor and Cabinet, sitting as the Board of Trustees of the Internal Improvement Trust Fund.

Environmental Resource Permits ensure that proposed surface water management systems, including wetland dredging or filling, do not cause adverse water quality, water quantity or environmental impacts. Water Use Permits ensure that proposed uses are reasonable-beneficial, will not interfere with any presently existing legal users, and are consistent with the public interest. Water Well Construction Permits ensure that groundwater resources are protected from contamination as aresult of well construction activities.

Water Supply Program

GOALEnsure an adequate supply of water to protect natural systems and to meet all existing and projected reasonable-beneficial uses, while sustaining water resources for future generations

PROGRAM COORDINATOR:Carlyn Kowalsky

98


The Water Supply Program is responsible for the District's evaluation of long-term water supply needs, and the planning and development of needed water resource development projects. Four regional water supply plans are developed and implemented to meet the water supply needs of present and future populations, agriculture and natural systems, pursuant to the requirements of the Florida Water Resources Act. Computer modeling is used to evaluate the effectiveness of proposed solutions in meeting projected human demands and environmental requirements. Environmental targets, which are developed for major ecosystems by the Coastal Watersheds and other programs, and incorporated into planning and permitting efforts. Water conservation is encouraged through a combination of strategies, including regulatory and financial incentives.

Minimum Flows and Levels (MFLs) and Water Reservations for natural systems, both required by statute, help ensure the sustainability of water resources. If minimum targets cannot be met, recovery plans are developed. Water Reservations prevent the allocation of water needed to protect and restore ecosystems. Water Use Permitting (see Regulation Program) is a powerful tool used to implement Water Supply Plans, MFLs and Water Reservations. The Water Supply Program also coordinates with local government comprehensive planning efforts, creating a linkage between land use and water supply planning.

KEY ASSUMPTIONS

Governing Board strategic priority: Implement key water supply plan recommendations to meet current and future demands

Modeling support will be available to coincide with plan update requirements

Identification of future Lower East Coast and Lower West Coast water resource and water supply development projects will occur in FY05 as part of plan updates
